If FinePrint is doing the job for you right now, I'd say stick with it until
maybe there is a better solution one day. You might want to post a
"suggestion to Microsoft" that you want the manual duplexing to work again in
Outlook 2007...to do this, go to the Office-specific web community portal at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx. Navigate to
the Outlook section and choose the Calendaring group. When creating a new
message, choose the "Suggestion for Microsoft" option. Type out your message
as a suggestion -- be specific in what you want and need. When your message
appears in the community after posting (it may take a while), there will be a
disclaimer at the bottom that indicates it is a suggestion for Microsoft, to
let others know. They can vote on it, and the more positive votes it gets,
the more likely Microsoft will consider some kind of fix or new strategy in
later versions.

Thanks for the positive feedback btw :-)

Thank you for this advice. The CPA is certainly a neat product and I was
unaware of it, so thank you for this info! However, it still doesn't do
manual duplex, and doesn't print 2-up correctly. I am trying to print for a
day planner that uses 5.5" x 8.5" pages (1/2-letter). When I printed from
Outlook 2003 using Manual duplex, it ended up printing 4 pages per sheet of
paper in 'booklet' form. I cut the paper, punched holes using a hole punch,
and it worked perfectly. With OL2007, this ability is gone, and with the
CPA, if I try to print to 5.5" x 8.5" (or even to 'letter booklet'), it
prints the wrong orientation so you still use 1 sheet per page.

Back to OL07 -- I found it funny when trying to print a tel/adds list that
one of my choices was 'booklet'. I chose this and printed, and got a dialog
box suggesting I enable duplexing (even though duplexing wasn't an available
option).

Currently, the solution is using FinePrint which works okay. I print from
Outlook to letter-sized paper, then use FinePrint to make booklets out of it.
But, I'd really like to be able to print directly from Outlook 2007 (or
using the CPA) with at least the same level of functionality I used to have
with Outlook 2003.

I'm going to say 'yes' to rate your response highly, however I am still
disappointed in Outlook itelf that they removed functionality between 2003
and 2007 (if that makes any sense). Thanks so much for your time!!

Have you tried using the Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook? It may
have been included in your Office package...if not, go to Office Downloads at
the Microsoft site and get it (it's free). You can do duplex printing
through the CPA.

I used the manual duplex printing option in Outlook 2003 to print 2-page
weekly calendars correctly for my day planner. This is not possible printing
'odds' and 'evens', and the feature appears to be missing from Outlook 2007.
Is there a way to print on both sides of the paper manually (manual duplex)
for calendar view in Outlook 2007? Thanks in advance!
